Further Interstate decisions.

The Inter, State Commerce Commission
has followed up its decision prohibiting W.
bates TO favored shippers by two other dc
cisions based upnn the srme principle us
applied to the carriage of p~assCuGcIs.
These relate to tho selling of mileage aud
Communication tickets. The case us regarded
mileage tickets presented two features.
One road had been selling these tickets at
$40 per thousand miles to drummCrs, charg'
Ing the general public Il higher rate. III
the other case they were sold at $50 TO al
persons alike. In the first case the dtscrlm,
nation In favor of the drummer is decided
by the commission q violation OF the law.
In the other case, In which the drummc!r$
pctltioncd for n lower rate than that nc.
corded the public, the railway was sus
tanned in denying such rate.
Reduced to plain English these decisions
state that railways may sell both mileage
and communication tickets ut reduced rates
that Is, at rates lower than those charged
for single trip tickets. But in SO doing al
applicants for such tickets must be place.
on the same level. The farmer or the law
yer is entitled to q mileage ticket at tbt
same rate as a drummer. Aud all resi-
dents of suburban towns arc entitled Il
them ut tho same price. In other words
| the Commission holds that the reduced rat
involved in the sale Of either class Of tickets
must be available to all or none.
The decision in the case Of the coal nc
bate and the two regarding the mileage ant
Communication tickets constitute tho mos
important conclusions yet reached by TIN

IN INSANE.GHOST
Walks About in his Night Robe and
Gets Knocked Down.

For some time Alfred Strickland
has been patient in the city hospital.
A few weeks ago he began 10 imagine
himself possessed with spirits, aud that
his pantaloons were conjured and the
only way he could get rid Of the evil
one was to cut those offenders TO
pieces. Leaving the hospital one night,
lie took his pantaloons off aud cut
them into shreds and then walked
around town. Strickland is mulat-
to. A white shirt-noihing more
and the yellow skin, were calculated
to make n mans hair stand on end as
he came in contact with it suddenly as
he turned n corner, and that was about
the way the matter stood when a young
man ran up against it at Sanger's cor
ncr the other night. Inetead of re-
treating. he "whaled away" and,
knocked the ghost down. The negro
was adjudgcd insane to-day.

bells gave the alarm. 1t was the

was in flames. The origin of the fire
is not known, as it seemed 10 have
caught between the roof and ceiling.
Mrs. Barksdalc was not at home at the
time, but the children were in the
house. They were awakened in time
to make their escape. A few things
were taken out, but the building and
most of tho contents were destroyed
Loss at least $4,000 and insured for
$4,000.
The ncighborhood was greatly
alarmed. Near il is the home of Mr..
I. l.. Marsalis and other prominent
citizens. The distance from the fire
to the downtown engine house is
nearly two miles, and ofcourse it took
some time to get there. The hook
and ladder truck and hose cart, with
part of the force and the chief, went
and did what they could to save
property.
East Dallas, being a city of itself
should have a fire department. Ex-
ccpt out Of humanity, the engines of
Dallas have no right to go TO East Dali
las, and that flourishing little city
should put herself under the pro-
tecting wing of her mother or buy an
engine.
